Links to notable music journalism
[edit]The following are active links to music journalism on Christopher Tignor and his work from notable sources. It's a sliver of what's out there but hopefully sufficient. Ideally, some or all of these should be integrated into this page in order to better support the claims therein. I won't do this myself to avoid a conflict of interest. Chubbles has already discussed that Tignor is notable (via the Western Vinyl releases) but these will help give the claims on this page more authority:
New York Times album review of Tignor's "Core Memory Unwound".
New York Times review of Zankel Hall performance with string quartet Brooklyn Rider including Tignor's work "Together into this Unknowable Night" described by Allan Kozinn as a "vital, texturally fluid essay for quartet, drums and electronics".
Paris Review feature on Tignor's collaboration with poet John Ashbery.
NY Daily News feature on Wires.Under.Tension / Tignor
In-depth interview / feature with Tignor from music-software maker (and industry leader) Ableton:
Nationally syndicated radio feature / interview on classical music program "Performance Today", "American Public Media’s Performance Today is America’s most popular classical music radio program" (link)

Remove issues templates?
[edit]Hi @Chubbles:! Read your notes here & over at User talk:Ctignor, & there were clearly major issues... I replaced any interview "sources" + net total added ~25 citations, fleshed out the discography, rewrote for tone, removed extraneous images, & eliminated redundancies. Normally I'd take down at least some templates at this point, but I haven't added sources for *everything*, & given the back-&-forth on this one wanted to check in. Thanks! // Knifegames 22:02, 16 December 2020 (UTC)
- Yeah, I'll take the tags down - this is actually over-cited at this point, in my opinion, since things like album titles do not need verification from The New York Times and Pitchfork to be included. Chubbles (talk) 16:16, 17 December 2020 (UTC)
- Chubbles – Awesome, thanks piles for that + letting me know about overciting; I need to more thoroughly look into wiki standards for discographies... // Knifegames 22:39, 17 December 2020 (UTC)
- There has been some effort to demand that there be third-party published sources for things like the names of albums, which are themselves published works. I see this as a citation arms race that is pure make-work and is not useful, but opposing it makes me sound like I am against WP:V or something. It's unfortunate.
